Fun rainy-day read.

Another Gilmore Girls-esque book! A little ridiculous, silly, lovable characters, and pure fun!

This was cute. I appreciate that it’s a non-romance (I love a romance but it’s nice to mix it up sometimes). In the beginning I did mix up the characters a bit and that made it hard for me to get into. By the end I just loved the cute little ways the stories were tied up. Characters had growth! It was enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone looking for a light hijinks-y story without a big romance element.

I really enjoyed this book! It took a bit for me to feel invested in the characters, but about 1/4 of the way in I started loving them. I thought that the way all of the character’s lives intersected was clever and done in such a witty way. This is a book that I would recommend to everyone that wants a lighthearted read with gentle moments that will make you giggle

I really enjoyed this book. It's very much outside the comfort zone of what I typically read and I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it. I also went in pretty blind to what the plot of this book was but this was such a fun read!! I loved the setup of the ensemble cast and how their lives intertwined with one another. I thought at times the book was super funny too and found myself laughing out loud. I recommend this one if you're looking for a general fiction read that has a bundle of characters to fall in love with. I look forward to reading more of Amy Poeppel's work.
